Discovery of unpickleables in class heirarchies.

I've a need to pickle arbitrary class hierarchies, which, luckily, can be made to conform to the pickle protocol. At the moment, however, I'm having a rather hard time discovering which classes in a heirarchy cannot be pickles. For instance, say class A has class B in it's __dict__ and let class B

Comments appreciated on Erlang inspired Process class.

Lately I've been tinkering around with Erlang and have begun to sorely want some of its features in Python, mostly the ease at which new processes can be forked off for computation. To that end I've coded up a class I call, boringly enough, Process. It takes a function, its args and keywords and

I happened to stumble upon Guido's announcement of his python2 to python3 refactoring tool earlier today (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-December/005102.html), and, after playing with it a bit, I have some use questions as I don't quite understand how the pattern matching languag

Re: Delete items in nested dictionary based on value.

This is a general reply to all. Thanks for all the suggestions. I hadn't really thought about filtering empty dictionaries because the data I'm processing won't have them, but it does make for a much nicer, more general filter. I did end up using bearophileH's code, but that's mostly because he go

Delete items in nested dictionary based on value.

I've got a problem that I can't seem to get my head around and hoped somebody might help me out a bit: I've got a dictionary, A, that is arbitarily large and may contains ints, None and more dictionaries which themselves may contain ints, None and more dictionaries. Each of the sub-dictionaries is

Pylint-like source code reformatter

I've recently developed a need for a python source code re-formatter, ideally conforming to the sort of style that pylint enforces. I don't know of any, and my googling wasn't very productive. Does anyone know of anything? Stand-alone or vim based both work for me, though stand-alone would be prefe

Geez, I apologize for my post being so vague. I was terribly tired when I wrote that, and should have known better than to post. I was not aware of the pygame mailing list. I will take this question there. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: grayscale pixel based graphics with pygame

Thank you, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for. I do admit, however, that my post wasn't very clear (writting while exceptionally tired is not a very clever thing to do.) As Terry mentioned below this should be a question for the pygame mailing lists, so I'll take it there. Thanks again t

grayscale pixel based graphics with pygame

I've recently begun to teach myself pygame by making a bunch of small toys. My current toy is cellular automata displayer and I've gotten a bit stuck on the displaying bit. (If automata isn't the plural of automaton please forgive me.) The current automata are only binary and are calculated using 2
